Sprint to give customers Free Call Forwarding on Nov. 8th


Here is an excellent piece of information that was sent to the PPCG News Room today. According to an informed source, Sprint will be unleashing conditional (no answer/busy signal) free call forwarding to any phone number, including Google Voice. This means that any incoming call to your Sprint number that encounters a busy signal or no answer will be forwarded to a pre-selected (by the customer) phone number for free.

Also, Simply Everything customers will also begin receiving unconditional (immediate) call forwarding included in their plan beginning late November. On a technical note, this is not available in the system UNTIL after an upgrade, so it will not work until the system has been upgraded.This is great news for any Sprint customer. An added service at no extra cost? Sounds like a win to me! Quote:

This is great Sprint really needs to quit dragging their feet about stuff. VZW has it at no charge which is nice. Also I think that if you were signed up for the simply everything plan (like I initially was) it should have already been included. I hope they wake up and make more changes to benefit their customers. One of the other things I think they should do is get better customer service. Just my opinion though.

Agreed, this is something I have been mentioning in various threads and have been waiting for , for years (literally). This is huge, because they were the last major carrier to charge for this service and kept us out of many services. All I can say is, "It's about time" ;D

SPRINT.............it's time to Sprint ahead literally.
